Well I guess this is my lucky day.  Apply the attached patch for vm_mmap to 
your kernel and patch the August wine sources with the wine-mmap.patch and 
compile and install wine (be sure to use gmake).  This is working on my dev 
system with 6-CURRENT as of Saturday night.
The wine mmap patch just doesn't reserve the DOS area so DOS programs may not 
work.  This seems to just work around a side effect of the kernel mmap patch.
I still think that the kernel mmap patch has issues so I'm hoping Alan can 
give us some feedback.
Anyway this worked for me, YMMV.
